There is Power in the Moment

Ever get yourself lost in the worries of the day? Everybody does. The world is changing rapidly and with change comes uncertainty. Whether you're caught up in the news of financial turmoil, or you're concerned about environmental changes, or you're living in fear of terrorism and violence that assaults the world every day, or maybe you are dealing with a personal crisis--any of these things can put your focus on worries about the future and remove you from being present now. Fear, worry, doubt, anger, and stress are all emotions that can bring your energy down and ultimately cause bigger problems in your life. Doctors offices are filled with people who worry themselves sick, or drink, smoke or take pills to cover up stress and fear. It seems like an endless vicious cycle as worry begets stress and more worry, fear begets anger and so on. Search everywhere, but there is nothing outside of you that can take all of that away. The good news is, you have a lot more power than you may believe. You have the power of the moment.

Give yourself a moment, just a moment and evaluate that moment. You are breathing, your heart is beating and you are alive with life. In that small, isolated moment, you are perfect...the moment is perfect. Can you see that? You are for just a moment, pure potential, actually capable of anything that comes your way. You are in your first moment on the way to health, in the first moment on the path to financial freedom, in the first moment to solving that big problem that has been keeping you up nights.

Consider that moment.

Then consider the next, as that moment passes. Can you see that this next moment, immediately following the previous, is in and of itself perfect? If you were to look at those two moments together, they would both be perfect.

Give yourself another moment of perfection. Breathe into that moment and feel alive. Continue to evaluate each moment, one by one and you will realize that you have created a string of pure perfect moments, that can become a perfect minute, a perfect hour and, over time, a perfect day. Give yourself enough perfect days and you step gracefully and joyfully into a perfect life.

You are pure potential in the moment. What's in the future is always in the future. What's now is what you can act on. Seize the moment.
